SSK Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Kelishadi is amazing!!! He made me feel so comfortable! I had Breast Augmentation May 26th. I'm three months out and loving my results! I was very self conscious about my chest. My breasts shrunk due to breast feeding. I didn't even want to change in front of my husband. (he loved them no matter what lol) and now I am feeling so great about it! He said he's even noticed a boost in my confidence level. I love it! i feel good..i feel sexy. I never thought I would actually go through with getting this done, but Dr. Kelishadi and his staff helped me with every step of the way. He was very caring and checked up on me after surgery. His staff was very nice as well. All so helpful! I highly recommend him!
Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have met the SSK team. I initially started with the med spa team at SSK and knew that I needed to do a breast augmentation consultation there as well. From beginning to end, every single doctor/nurse and even Valerie at the front desk, involved in my procedures reached out giving clear instructions and also daily check-ins after my breast aug surgery. Their patient care is beyond incredible. The team gives you all of the instructions pre and post op, and they even go as far as giving you a sweet post op bag including the cutest, softest, coziest jump suit to wear into and out of the hospital on surgery day. I am so so pleased with the team’s attention to detail, but more importantly, they are an exceptional care team you want and need! Thank you SSK! -Steph
I recently had a breast revision/augmentation with a lift by Dr Kelishadi and I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon! He is known as the King of Cleavage and definitely lives up to the name. His staff is friendly, professional, and prompt to answer calls and respond to emails. It was also super nice and convenient having Dr Sherry as part of the team helping with all the medications ordered. On my pre op visit, I was given a bag with all the medications I would need for my surgery and recovery. Dr Sherry would text and make sure I didn’t have any questions which was so appreciated. After my surgery, Dr Kelishadi would call and check in to make sure I was doing well. If I had a questions or concerns, Dr Kelishadi would promptly call and answer all the questions I had. He is genuinely a great person and an amazing Surgeon that I would highly recommend.
I recently underwent a transformative experience at SSK Plastic Surgery, having a tummy tuck, muscle repair, and liposuction in the flanks and back. Being a mom to a 10 month old, I was pretty anxious about this procedure but right from my initial consultation, I was confident that I was in the hands of professionals who truly care. Now, just 3 days post-op, I caught a glimpse of my results and I’m beyond thrilled! Dr. Kalishadi’s skillful work has exceeded my expectations.On the day of the surgery, the entire team’s kindness helped alleviate any pre-surgery jitters. Dr. Kalishadi went above and beyond by personally reaching out to check on my recovery. Overall, my experience has been nothing short of amazing, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place for my procedure. I wholeheartedly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery to anyone seeking outstanding results and genuine care. Also shout out to Dr. Sherry, Valerie and Brianna who were also lovely! Thank you all so much!

From start to finish, the entire journey was seamless, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Here’s why I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kelishadi for anyone considering breast revision: Dr. Kelishadi is an exceptional plastic surgeon. From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-ups, Dr. Kelishadi displayed remarkable expertise and a genuine care for my well-being. He took the time to listen to and provided me with detailed explanations of the procedure. The entire team at SSK Plastic Surgery was welcoming, friendly and professional. They made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and their knowledge and expertise to my needs were remarkable. One aspect that truly impressed me was the personalized approach they took throughout the entire journey. I even worked with Dr. Sherrie for my hormones prior to surgery and needless to say I feel much better now. I felt that she too was invested in my overall health. Lastly, when it came to deciding the appropriate size for my revision, I had to place my trust in Dr. Kelishadi’s expertise and technique. I discussed my desired goals with him, and he carefully assessed my body proportions, existing breast tissue and overall aesthetic balance. Although I had initial apprehension about relinquishing control over to the size decision, I am thrilled to say that I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The size chosen by Dr. Kelishadi was absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery!

How Are Radiesse Injections Performed?
Radiesse injections take place within our office. The process is very simple. We will prep your face, mark your injection spots, administer the product, and have you on your way. First, you will be seated comfortably in our treatment room and the areas of injection will be cleansed and marked. A numbing agent will be applied and left to sit for a few minutes so that the injections are not uncomfortable. The dosage of Radiesse, selected at your personalized treatment planning session, will be prepared in an ultra-fine syringe. We will mark your face with a washable marker for precision before injecting the medication. After the injections are complete, we will apply a cold compress to help alleviate swelling or bruising.
What Should I Expect from Radiesse?
You may see some slight swelling, redness, and possible bruising after your injections. This is common and should only last for about 5 – 10 days. In most cases, if bruising does linger longer, it can be concealed with makeup. If the side effects last longer, or seem excessive, please do not hesitate to call our office, especially if it lasts longer than 10 days. The great thing about this injectable, is that within a few minutes, you will see results in your facial appearance that appear younger, softer, and provide a natural glow. Radiesse tends to last longer than some of the other fillers on the market.
This exceptional product may last 1 – 2 years, however, some patients do schedule their appointments earlier to refresh their results. Why wait to look continuously younger and gorgeous?

Radiesse® FAQs
How much does Radiesse cost?
The cost of Radiesse will depend on the amount used to reach your goals. During your initial consultation, your injector will ask about your expected results and develop your treatment plan. Then, they can offer your estimated costs for your treatment.
How does Radiesse compare to other fillers?
Dermal fillers each have unique formulas and properties to help with various concerns. Common ingredients in fillers are HA (hyaluronic acid), CaHa (calcium hydroxyapatite), poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Radiesse is made with calcium-based microspheres, which are similar to HA wrinkle fillers in that they help increase the natural production of collagen. In your consultation, we will review the different options and evaluate your skin's laxity, tone, and volume to recommend the correct one.
Are Radiesse injections painful?
Typically, patients do not need any form of numbing before their injections. However, numbing cream can be applied to make you feel more comfortable. Most patients only experience slight and brief discomfort as the needle goes in.
What are the side effects of Radiesse?
Injections of Radiesse have a low risk of abnormal side effects when done by a skilled injector, like the ones at SSK Plastic Surgery. During your initial consultation, talk to your injector about the medications you take and if you have any known allergies to avoid a reaction. You may experience mild redness, bruising, numbness, or itching right after your injection. These side effects are temporary and should disappear within a day or two.
What other procedures can I combine with Radiesse?
Radiesse injections can be combined with other injectable treatments to help deliver your ideal results. Some patients use fillers like Radiesse, BOTOX, or another wrinkle relaxer to give them a refreshed appearance. Talk to your injector before your treatment to learn more about procedures that complement the results of Radiesse dermal filler injections.
